New Bronze Sculpture "The long-legged Maskitt"

Long-legged Maskitt
     About six months ago I was approached by Art Blue to create twenty bronze sculptures from a work I had created called the "Long-legged Maskitt".  Fourteen of these sculptures would be given as awards to artists at the Santorini Biennial in Greece (opening in November 2018) while I would keep one for myself, and the other five would be put up for sale.  I made these five available for a few days first to my patrons list who had purchased the original bronze work called "The Dancer".

All five sold and some were a bit upset they didn't get a opportunity to buy one so I have begun the process of creating five more.  The Long-legged Maskitt is available for $750 USD + shipping and stands six inches tall.  Payment will be through paypal and they all should be completed within a month.  If you are interested in purchasing one then please contact me at brynohhh@gmail.com 

   What is the Maskitt?  So as many of you know who follow this blog, my work is one long story which began around eleven years ago with Condos in Heaven.  That was essentially my first large scale narrative build but there were a few before that like Willow, Vessels Dream and Angler Girl which were little works fleshing out characters and where I was getting the idea that second life as a virtual space would be a perfect medium for me to essentially create paintings with duration and interaction.   I think of my first true immersive chapter as being the Rabbicorn story shown at IBM.  Each of my characters live in the same world that I have created and over the years I have, and still continue to, tell stories which add layers to the characters and world.  Many of the characters will overlap at different times or make brief appearances in other stories.  Some of the characters have stories which I keep mysterious and obscured until it is time to explain who they are and how they connect to others.  Of the new single scene poems currently on Immersiva you will see Lady Carmagnolle who stands on the stage

with her rocks, she lives in the abandoned theme part where the Rabbicorn and Daughter of Gears eventually find themselves.  In 26 tines the girl robot who connects to the robot boy in the jar at night when the Scientists have gone home for dinner and sleep, are actually machines in the same laboratory by the same Scientist who built the Rabbicorn.   That  scientist is about to show up again in a new build to open in a few weeks time.

Tilt-a-whirl shows the relationship between Flutter and Juniper,  two characters from Hand and Imogen and the pigeons.  So there are little spidery strings and webs connecting all the characters together and the Maskitt is also one such character.  I should also mention that one of the themes for this world my characters inhabit is one where the human race with the help of a singularity AI are inventing new technologies faster than they can determine if they should even be introduced.  New creatures are being genetically manufactured while others become extinct such as the bees and rabbits.  Some of these extinct creatures are what helped Kumiko decide
Maskitt in world
to stay within her coma induced state rather than rejoin the "real" world in the Singularity of Kumiko.  The Maskitt is a creature that is a mix of greyhound and a giraffe that stands a few stories tall.  Its head is covered with a filtration mask and it was introduced to purify the air in polluted industrial regions.  They wander like a herd and inhale the pollutants while giving off fresh air.    Here is a picture of one in world.  Anyway so if you are interested in purchasing the Long-legged Maskitt please don't wait too long to message me!
